As we prepare for the Christmas break, we have been keeping spirits high in school with singing festive songs - we are sure you have been hearing them at home! Children have been making Christmas decorations using recyclable materials. We think carefully about the environment and try to reuse things and use scraps of tinsel as treasure. Children have been sharing Christmas books and some children have listened to the story of the Nativity. There are lots of props for children to use in their story telling. There has been lots of festive mark making, with children drawing and writing as well as lots of one-handed tool use with scissors and glue. The children helped to decorate the classrooms and the festive cheer is truly keeping everyone going! The Red Building Christmas Parties are on Tuesday 19 December and Red Building children finish that day. Main Building have their parties on Wednesday 20th and all children come to school in the morning 9am-12pm. We are hoping Father Christmas may visit both days! We wish you, your families and the whole world peace and love for the festivities and into 2024. We welcomed some students from Mulberry University Technical College to Children's House as part of their studies. They spent time working alongside staff, observing children and interacting with them. This was followed up with a second visit where they planned experiences to support children's learning. They supported children to develop skills such as following instructions, sustaining concentration and developing confidence, communication and vocabulary through paint mixing, following a recipe to make playdough and creating collages with recyclable materials. It is so important young people get the encouragement and experience in the world to see themselves as leaders and are able to make an impact on their community, |
